FFFC time!
Alright ladies, bring it!
Mine is that my recent FFFC's make me sound like a slut...but I don't care (well, I care enough to make it an FFFC about it I guess...). I had such a terrible marriage that I'm going crazy with my independence and having a blast! I'm sure people are judging me but I'm having a great time meeting new people after being manipulated and abused by XH.
I'm not looking for anything serious right now because I don't have the time and I don't want to settle down. I've even created a dating bucket list that I plan on completing before getting married again so I don't make the mistake of only dating what I think is "my type" and getting burned. I'm not sleeping around, but if there is some booty involved, I'm being safe about it.

Flame free Friday confessions
Mine is that I'm jealous that DH can get minibini to eat 3.5 ounces at a time and when I feed him he'll only take 2 ounces. I don't know what DH's secret is but it's so frustrating!
Ooooh, nice to know : )
My confession is that I'm actually looking forward to a few weeks without work lol

I was this close to putting a snarky reply on my mother's last FB status. She commented how happy she was that she just ordered pictures from my brother's wedding and how she "still grieves" at not getting pictures from my wedding. Seems she forgot that I sent out the information on how to get ictures. And funny thing is that other people and relatives figured out how to get pictures from the link/photographer information I sent them. Gaaaaaaah!
Mint, I don't think you're a slut and I would be doing the exact same thing if I were in your situation.
My FFFC: My ex BF from just before H (14 years ago!) emailed me out of the blue the other day. I have to say that I got some tingles when I saw his email. We had a very passionate relationship that only ended because I moved 500 km away and wanted no strings attached. By the time he was ready to accept my terms, I had already met H.
It's crazy that I feel guilty for replying right?!
I kind of wish that I had a kid now that the Christmas season is here. I love to decorate and bake a lot and I think it would be more fun if my family was bigger.
But the idea of having such a huge responsibility scares the hell out of me so the feeling of wanting a kid usually doesnt last that long.
Mint, I don't think you're a slut and I love that you have a dating bucket list. I wish there was a movie on that subject so that more people would do things like that.
My FFFC, 55 weeks after having a baby and I finally feel like a cloud has lifted. It wasn't until I got past that cloud that I realized there was one and just how immensely overwhelmed I felt with life the past year is surprising. I feel a lot better now.
My confession: H is ready to TTC like now and I sort of am, too, but I'm MOH in a wedding in July and don't want to be pregnant then. I feel really conflicted about it.
Another one? I have orgasms in my sleep. There I said it. Jealous?
Yes. Very.
And although I didn't say it before, Mint - I don't think you're a slut at all. I'd be doing the exact same thing in your situation
Azure - You shouldn't feel guilty for replying. You said you were in a passionate relationship with this person, so it's totally understandable that you'd want to have a conversation with him. Have you told your husband about him and that he contacted you?

I'm in the same boat, he brought it up again today and I flat out said no and that we will re-evaluate in a year or so.My reaons are really selfish though, I finally have a great body again since having M and I want to rock a bikini on the beach next summer also I dread having to travel alone with a toddler and a baby when we go back to Canada to visit family.
Pokepoke, I haven't told him. H was away all week and I think it would be weird for me to bring it up 3 days after the email. H knows the ex and they got along great when they met 10 or so years ago. Thinking about it, it's actually NBD.
Mint- I think its great you are having a good time, you deserve it after what you have been through!
My confession is that I am annoyed DH wanted to buy such an expensive gift for his nieces and nephews (he has 6- and this gift will only cover 4 of them, so we still have to get 2 more gifts on top of this). Part of it is that I am probably just cranky because I don't care much for his family and it really bothers me that they will take the gift and we won't even get a thank you or acknowledgment in any way. And they sure as hell won't be getting us anything. I finally agreed to buy it (since we were fighting about it for a week) but made perfectly clear they will not be getting much next year as we will have new priorities.
I did while I was pregnant, which was nice since there was no real action going on due to pelvic rest. I heard it's not uncommon during pregnancy, but I'm jealous that it happens to you when you're not pregnant, too. :-)
What the...
Yes, I'm jealous! And how? Please tell me how!
DH and I just booked a trip to Venice over Christmas. I'm going back to States in January but since we couldn't afford for both of us to go, I opted to go in January and still be able to spend Christmas with DH.
The thing is I hate Christmas in Switzerland with his family, so I talked him into us taking a trip together for X-mas, mainly so I can avoid Swiss Christmas. His family's "Christmas Tree" was a normal small decoration tree (plant?) they have year-round and put like two ornaments on it. There was four presents under it. It was nothing at all like the Christmas I'm used to in the US with a huge tree with lots of presents underneath. The lack of celebrating Christmas in his family depressed me and I couldn't deal with it again this year.
I get them too - sometimes randomly and sometimes (awkward) when I'm feeding M in bed in the morning and fall asleep...
lol. I wish I knew.
VERY!
Oh and Mint - you're single, it's your duty to have some fun!
